Thanks, I have seen E mentioned before on various lists and I also took
a quick look at the binary distribution. I have only skimmed the
documentation so far, but I had already planned to go through it and see
what pieces I could use. My hunch was that it might provide a scripting
component (I believe I saw 'scheme-like' mentioned), some crypto pieces
(e.g. SecureRandom), and the security services may even apply directly
to the problem. Haven't got the source kit yet but I plan to. How do you
feel that E would apply best here and what are the best document(s) to
start reading in order to get an overview of E?

Can you tell me if it is possible to apply E in a messaging application
(i.e. when communicating parties may have an online connection or only a
unidirectional store-and-forward connection such as email)? What kind of
security services does E provide? Can it support anonymity,
repudiability, PFS, etc? Also, I assume that some crypto pieces are
missing so that you can export this? If so, is it much work to bring it
back up to full strength.

Cheers,
Frank.
